All About Dricus Du Plessis’s Girlfriend Vasti Spiller Who Is Also His Coach

The first time Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland got locked inside the Octagon, it was the South African who came out on top, but his victory was marred with a bit of a conspiracy. For Dana White, it was the former champion who had won, but ‘DDP’ is determined to make sure those noises go away this weekend at UFC 312 in their headlining rematch to seal his status as the rightful champion.

The chit-chat around his fighting career will never cease to exist, but the unorthodox striker’s personal life isn’t something that’s talked about often. On that note, the focus of this article is on his love life, especially his partner, Vasti Spiller. Here’s what we know.
